The GXP Series of 2-electrode spark gaps are gas discharge tubes, hermetically sealed in a glass/metal envelope. Tubes with a DC breakdown voltage in the range 0.50KV to 12 KV are available. This is signified by a numeral or numerals following  the type letters and is expressed in hundreds of volts.

GXP series active component electrical and physical characteristics:

All grades given in this data sheet are solutes, not simultaneous grades. The responsibility of the equipment designer is to ensure that they are not exceeded. Spark gap life depends on circuit conditions, such as peak discharge current and duration, charge transfer per discharge and repetition rate.

charge transfer, single discharge (8/20 ms waveform): maximum 0.5C

Cumulative charge transfer: 6000C at 0.81mC per discharge at 1 Hz

Working temperature: -55℃~ +125℃

Mechanical shock, half sine (to B.S. 2011 test Ea): 40g, 4ms

installation: screw installation

Radioactivity: Tritium (3H), maximum 5.44 MBq (147 mCi) per device

 

 

Applications:

 

Electronic Power equipment, blast furnace ignition, rocket ignition, garbage incinerator, etc.
